Trigger Point: Fuera de control

I do not understand all the negative comments here. Maybe if you work for a bomb squad this is not realistic but I thought right from the very first episode, this was great action tv. I did suspect who the person was but then, you are not sure. Great actors, real fast pace drama. Loved it.

The same bugbear as usual unfortunately - an enormous amount of money spent on this series, but you still cannot hear all the dialogue, people mutter without moving their lips. Very frustrating to anyone with even a slight hearing impairment. This can easily be fixed, but tv production companies seem to be unable to understand how to record spoken sound properly. I watched a 1950s film on tv earlier and could every word clear as a bell. Just fix it!

A six part, explosive series, Jed Mecurio, Vicky McClure, this should, on paper, be brilliant......

For such a pedigree, this series was sadly, a real disappointment. If you're anything like me, you'll see the name Jed Mecurio, and get pretty excited, sadly this one just didn't land. It's not all bad, but sadly it's a real disappointment.

On the plus side, it looks nice, it's incredibly well filmed, it's slick, and the action scenes and explosives are impressive, Vicky McClure is excellent, and in fairness the first episode is rather good.

Unfortunately, it just runs out of steam very quickly, the tension feels forced, the plot is wafer thin, the eventual outcome just doesn't work. The characters lack any degree of depth, Lana apart, it's so hard to warm to any of them. Some of the acting is a little patchy in parts.

If you're desperate to watch it, you could quite easily watch parts one and six, as virtually nothing happens in the rest of it.

It was a ratings winner, and it was obvious that series two would follow, hopefully they do it a little better when it returns. 6/10.

Disappointing. So many unbelievable scenes with unexplained actions taken apparently on pure guesswork. More irritating is that there always has to be a senior male character or two who arrogantly overrides or dismisses information coming from the senior female officer despite her being seemingly the only one to discover and isolate a bomb minutes begore it explodes. Not at all credible and pushing the 'Women are just as good or even better at their jobs than men'. I suppose it's payback time for all those 1950's/60's where the hat wearing males treated the women in the same way which was just as annoying.

Firstly i want to defend the show, most people reviewing who are moaning about it being unrealistic when it comes to the policing side of things like no sh@t....its a tv show with certain time per episode so they're not going to go all into detail and start breaking out real protocols bomb squads follow...also the key to being good at bomb squad is not to show a bunch of actors what they do so they can show everyone including potential threats! Same for anti terrorism they wont give away any details to tv shows which is true....hence why hardly any help was given to the show by real bomb squads or special police groups...what was people expecting to tune in and see Vicky McClure kitted up doing the death walk like we're watching the Hurt Locker movie?

What i will say and fully agree with is the language and silly decisions the characters make, firstly screaming the F word didn't build tension it just came off bad and makes no sense to scream at someone panicking..also bomb squads would not have a thin police vest and some goggles to deal with bombs...they'll have full on body covered plating with not a bit of skin in sight!

Its not like the line of duty where they can ask for police inside help with the show as everything on the show is not revealing but when it comes to shows about terrorism of course they wont help the show so i dont expect it to be realistic at all, worth the watch but yeah dont expect realism!
